Chapter 157: The Man in the Blood Robe Appeared
Not far away.
On the high platform in the center of Green Mountain City, a sphere of blood as large as a house was suspended, and an evil energy was spreading out from the blood sphere.
The blood sphere formed was slowly absorbing the humans’ blood on the ground slowly, expanding and becoming larger and larger.
A dreadful evil energy was also being transmitted from the center of the blood sphere.
This blood sphere, condensed from the resentment and blood of tens of thousands of people, could make one’s hair stand on end even if they were standing far away from the scene.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right at this moment, a loud explosion sounded.
The blood-red light shield suddenly fell down, trapping Su Xing and the others in Green Mountain City.
“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! There are still living people who could make it this fa?. I don’t know whether I should say that you’re lucky or unlucky!”
“These three are still quite good-looking. It’s a pity that they are about meet an end just like the priests.”
“Tsk, if you feel sorry for them, we can open the formation and let you in to save them!”
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, are you trying to kill me as well? I won’t fall for your nonsense.”
…
Amidst waves of sinister laughter that could make one’s teeth ache, four red-robed figures appeared in the sky above Green Mountain City. One was tall and the other was short. One was fat and the other was thin, making one feel that their combination was very strange at a glance.
They were like high and mighty devil G.o.ds, looking at Su Xing and the other two in the formation with a mocking expression.
The demon race! And they were not ordinary members of the demon race!”
Every red-robed figure carried the energy of a high state of transcending the Heavenly Tribulation. Upon closer inspection, they were not wearing any red robes at all. Instead, their black robes had actually been dyed red because they had been soaked in fresh blood.
It seemed that the ma.s.sacre in Green Mountain City was the work of these people.
As the blood demon was at a disadvantage in the Great War, a strange feeling of surging blood energy suddenly arose in the crowd.
Su Yan’er’s face turned grim.
Sword strike! She exclaimed.
A phoenix dance in the nine heavens!
A long sword formed by flames and a flaming phoenix appeared in an instant. The two of them dashed toward the blood-colored light shield, one in front and one behind. Soon after, a series of intense explosions rang out, and the dazzling flames and the blood-colored light mixed together.
As if they had seen something funny, the four red-robed men burst into laughter.
One of the thin red-robed men said.
“Little girl, I advise you not to waste your energy. A mere Soul Formation Stage cultivator! Even if a cultivator of the Ascension Realm walked into this blood demon formation, there is no way for him to come out.”
As if to prove what the red-robed man had said, Su Yan’er’s attack hit the blood-red barrier. The light barrier only rippled slightly, like the surface of a pond, before it returned to its original state.
The blood-robed man’s laughter became even more unbridled.
“Senior Sister, let me do it!”
Shen Yaoling lightly shouted and took the Tianji Qi Dominating Pill. Her aura instantly skyrocketed to the third transition of the Ascendance Realm.
“Break!”
It had to be said that the Ascendance Realm’s attack was very powerful, more than ten times stronger than Su Yan’er’s previous attack. However, this did not mean that Su Yan’er was weaker than Shen Yaoling, but it was thanks to the Tianji Qi Dominating Pill’s terrifying amplification, so only Shen Yaoling could launch such a fierce attack.
Su Xing and the others knew about it, but the others did not.
“What?”
“There are really Ascension Realm experts among them?”
“This is not good, hurry up and strengthen the array formation!”
Seeing this, the four red-robed men were all shocked.
Their cultivation bases were only at the Crossing Calamity stage. If the three people in the array formation really escaped, they would be in danger!
Thinking of this, the four people in the blood-red robe did not have time to say anything. They each formed four corners and flew to the sky above the array. In the air, they began to chant.
A few obscure words were spat out from the mouths of these people. Finally, they were regrettably added to the blood demon array.
Instantly, the aura of the array increased a little.
Rumble!
Shen Yaoling saw that the array had changed. She quickly shot out all the gathered energy.
With a ferocious roar, a blurry ferocious beast formed and pounced towards the energy barrier. In the next moment, it collided with the array formation’s barrier.
The collision of the energy produced a huge shock wave. Strong gusts of wind blew, and the aftermath rippled. The already dilapidated city became even more chaotic.
The blood-red light barrier was also on the verge of collapsing, as if it would be broken in the next moment.
This stalemate lasted for more than ten breaths.
It was not until a mournful cry was heard that Shen Yaoling’s attack dissipated in mid-air.
Looking over, the array light barrier that was originally formed by the dense blood-colored light was still there, as if it had not been attacked at all!
“I don’t believe that I can’t break this turtle sh.e.l.l. Watch me devour the world!!”
“Junior Sister Ling’er, you can’t!”
Just as Shen Yaoling was about to use her Lighting Demon Rat innate skill, Su Xing, who was originally hugging his shoulders and observing from the side, made his move.
With a flash, he stood in front of Shen Yaoling and casually dispelled the energy that Shen Yaoling had not released.
Shen Yaoling sensed the innate skill that had gathered in her body and in the next moment, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. A wooden expression appeared on her face.
“Senior Brother, What’s wrong? Ling’er can break the array formation.”
Yes, you can break the array formation, but there will also be serious consequences. This was the reason why Su Xing had to stop her.
The murderous aura of thousands of people had already gathered in this place. If Shen Yaoling used her innate ability, she might really be able to break the array formation. However, inhaling the murderous aura would also affect her future cultivation, in the future, when she transcended the tribulation, the heavenly punishment that she would receive would be even fiercer. If she was not careful, she would be killed by the powerful heavenly punishment.
Cultivators with weak wills would even be affected by the murderous aura, and they might even be a.s.similated into a murderous maniac.
If this was to break this troublesome blood demon array and cause Shen Yaoling to absorb the murderous aura, then the loss would not be worth the gain.
Su Xing hurriedly persuaded her.
“The evil energy here is too heavy. You can’t use your Demon Rat talent, or the consequences will be very serious.”
Seeing Shen Yaoling’s puzzled expression, Su Yan’er also nodded solemnly.
“Then what should we do?”
“Are we not going to be able to escape?”
Seeing that the blood demon array was safe and sound, the few blood-robed men who were originally nervous showed a relaxed expression.
“Keke! I told you not to waste your energy!”
“No, if we didn’t strengthen the array just now, that little girl might have really broken the array!”
“Phew! That was so close!”
The plump blood-robed man scratched his head, as if he was still fearful of what had just happened.
When the other blood-robed men saw him like this, they immediately had awkward expressions on their faces.
“d.a.m.n, fatty. What are you talking about? Why would I team up with a fool like you for a mission? You’re really p.i.s.sing me off!”
“That’s right! Isn’t this revealing our methods? Oh my G.o.d!”
“Why don’t we leave this fool next time…”
The four blood-robed men were like aggressive roosters as they started to criticize the fat black-robed man.
This sudden reaction made Su Xing and the others stunned.
Shen Yaoling said in a low voice, “Is there something wrong with them?”
“Little girl, you’re right. There’s something wrong with this d.a.m.n fatty’s brain.”
The other blood-robed men looked at each other and laughed strangely.
“Nonsense. The little girl clearly said all of us. If you don’t believe me, ask her yourself!” The fat blood-robed man said seriously.
Was that so?
The strange laughter stopped and they all looked at Shen Yaoling.
As expected, Shen Yaoling nodded.
